Description
The HPx-450 XMC Radar Input Card is a high-performance XMC radar input card designed for demanding radar acquisition applications. It captures both analogue and digital radar signals and converts them into high-fidelity digital data for processing, display, or network distribution. With support for dual radar channels and high-speed XMC interfaces, the card enables low-latency data transfer and real-time processing, ideal for advanced multi-channel radar systems.
The HPx‑450 features FPGA-based processing for accurate capture, correlation, and pre-trigger compensation. It supports a wide range of radar signal types, including video, trigger, and azimuth (ACP/ARP or parallel). With configurable input termination and multiple output formats, it integrates seamlessly into legacy and modern radar systems. The card is compatible with the SPx software suite for radar display, tracking, and processing on both Windows and Linux platforms.
